4 axis Pocketing
Menu: 4/5 axis | pocketing
Links:
Realize a pocketing machining rolled up on a cylindrical surface of a milling part. This part is clamped on a chuck or a divisor with a turning table. This 4 axis machining is made with XYZ and the chuck (or table).
Of course, the user has to select
a 4 axis machine to do that!
TopSolid'Cam checks the curve is valid for this kind of machining.
If this curve is defined in XY (NOT wrapped) , it is TopSolid'Cam who will roll up the following curve on a diameter defined by the user (just click the cylindrical face!)
If the curve is NOT defined in XY, TopSolid'Cam will check that this curve is already wrapped on a diameter and will calculate it. If TopSolid'Cam doesn't find a rolled up diameter, the user must check this curve!
Algorithm also administers the corners where the minimum radius is lower than the radius of tool.
Select the Main Wcs To make a 4 or 5 axis machining, the user MUST activate first the part Wcs. Indeed, it's not possible to start on a Wcs where the angles are NOT 0 (The machine is NOT able to do that ....)
Select the curve to use (already wrapped or not)
Check the material side direction.
Choose (or check) the necessary tool for the operation.
Validate entries made into the dialogue box by clicking on OK.
